From Sweden I would put the tournament goalscoring leader Berglund forward as our champion, although Fast (97.62%, 2 Shutouts) could definitely overtake him if he continues to play as well against another couple of solid opponents.

I haven't seen all that much of the lower ranked teams to be honest. So far, Jarkko Immonen, the two norwegians Olimb and Bastiansen, Pietrangelo and Eberle for Canada, Loui Eriksson and Patrik Berglund from Tre Kronor and the german team in its entirety are the people who have impressed me the most.

It's easily one of the least star-studded World Championships that I can recall. Ovechkin will be fun to watch henceforth.

I do believe I owe you a "thank you" for an old, much appreciated post complementing my avatar.
Thanks, just never got around to answering that, Djurgårdsbroder.

Hurts to say it, but that Solna Ishockey Förening-goalkeeper we're stuck with is awful impressive at times. Easily one of the best of the tournament.

The good thing about Fast's performances is that the better he does now, the bigger the chance of him moving to North America gets

Mine too! Born and raised in Nacka, where he started playing. 18 seasons for the same non-professional club, without ever having had the chance of even ONE lucrative year abroad making anything like good money. God, it brings a tear to my eye even now. True grit. In a time of mercenaries.

Mmm..yeeees. Why don't we hype him some more, why don't we? *evil* By far the best goalie of the Elitserie, wouldn't you say? A bargain at any price. *wink wink nudge nudge*
